Rose Bowl MVPs credit Indiana's focus as key to win over Alabama
"We work really hard every single day because not only do we enjoy football, we also enjoy winning,"
"And we know what that takes. So every single day we're always going to put our best foot forward."
"It's all a credit to my teammates and my coaching staff for just believing in me and the ability to make my calls and diagnose a defense and fully entrusting in me and my abilities,"
Indiana dominated Alabama 38-3 in the Rose Bowl behind efficient quarterback play, strong offensive-line performance, and a stingy defense. Fernando Mendoza completed 14 of 16 passes for 192 yards and threw more touchdown passes than incompletions while spreading scoring to multiple teammates. Center Pat Coogan earned Offensive MVP honors as the line made key calls and protected execution. The defense held Alabama to 23 rushing yards, forced two fumbles and recovered one, with a pivotal fourth-quarter turnover setting up another scoring drive and widening the margin.
